Well, so far so good. I am on hour 38 right now which is nothing new for me so no big deal there. I have done up to 48 hours before and regularly do 38 hour fast once per week. But this new 60 hour fast will be a first for me.

I feel really good. I have lots of energy, I am being really productive at work and I feel really alert and happy. I have ZERO hunger right now. I feel kind of like you feel a couple hours after you eat, not full, but not hungry either...It is kind of weird really, not having had any food at all for 38 hours and NO hunger...the body is an amazing thing.

Yesterday I didn't have nearly enough liquids so today I am trying really hard to drink lots. I have already had 3 huge glasses of water and a tea.

I plan on lifting weights tonight. My weight routine is usually about an hour long. I use the Venus Index Workout, although, I haven't been doing it for a couple of months now. But, tonight is the first night of me going back to that, so we will see how I do since I have been fasting for so long.

Tomorrow I plan to break my fast at 12 noon and make it a slow progression to food. I will have a salad and bring some nuts and fruit for a snack later on and try to keep it at that. I will wait until Wednesday to completely return to normal and eat my regular lunches and snacks.

I am really interested to see what the scale has to say after all of this. Hopefully most of the weight I release during this time will stay off! Just in time for fitting into that swimsuit on Friday!!!
